I believe I have.
“Melvin, you give excellent advice on how to improve my business. Thank you so much!”
“Melvin, the idea you gave us saved our company at least $20k a year. How can we reward you?”
“Melvin, you’re very competent at what you do. Why don’t you start a course and teach others to do the same? Why let all the fake pooroos make all the money teaching shit?”
I can be a business consultant or a coach in the eyes of my clients or people who have heeded my advice.
But to me, I’m not good enough. I always think there are still many things I need to learn to be qualified as a consultant or coach.
Every time I have plans on how to use my more than twenty years of experience in business and marketing and start a course to teach others, my inner-self starts doubting whether I’m competent enough or not.
Are you like me, too?
Are you very knowledgeable and experienced in what you do but still think that you can be better and consequently believe you are not qualified to teach or start on your own?
Are you afraid of being found a fraud (even though you’re more competent than many people)?
If you are, welcome to the club!
If you have overcome imposter syndrome, let’s have a cuppa. I’d love to learn from you!

Imposter Syndrome – a psychological pattern in which an individual doubts their skills, talents, or accomplishments and has a persistent internalised fear of being exposed as a “fraud.”
